Let's face it, many Kenyans abroad do not have medical insurance leave alone plans for their final arrangements. Harambees are popular in churches and community gatherings in the US. These Harambees are arranged to raise fund to send a Kenyan who died in the US without prior arrangements.
Well there is no excuse anymore.
A fellow called Henry in Missouri is now offering Kenya Funeral Assurance.
For USD 119 a year you are guaranteed a transport and funeral in Kenya.
This is an innovative idea and a needed service.
The website is: http://www.kenyafuneralassurance.com/
The company also offers discounted family plan.
I think it would be nice if Kenyans spread the word about the services, so that last minute harambees can be avoided.
It is also comforting to know that you will not burden others when that time comes for you.
